XSP400 Student LCD Biological Microscope for Classroom Learning

The XSP400 is a student-grade biological microscope with a built-in LCD screen, supplied as a complete unit with a conocular 30° head, 4X, 10X and 40X(S) achromatic objectives, and an LED illumination source.

Product Overview

The XSP400 is a student-grade biological microscope with a built-in LCD screen, supplied as a complete unit with a conocular 30° head, 4X, 10X and 40X(S) achromatic objectives, and an LED illumination source. It is designed for classroom use in schools and teaching labs, where multiple students can view the same specimen simultaneously on the 3.5-inch LCD display. The full plastic construction keeps the unit lightweight and durable for student handling.

  • Viewing headConocular 30°
  • EyepieceWF10X
  • Objective lenses4X, 10X, 40X(S) (175mm objective lens)
  • Optical systemAchromatic
  • IlluminationLED light source
  • StageSingle layer circular platform

Key Benefits

  • Built-in 3.5-inch LCD screen allows multiple students to view the same specimen at once without passing the eyepiece
  • Conocular 30° head reduces eye strain during prolonged viewing sessions
  • LED illumination provides consistent, cool light without overheating the specimen
  • 4X, 10X and 40X(S) achromatic objectives cover standard classroom magnification needs
  • Full plastic body reduces weight to 1.45KG, making it easy to move between classrooms
  • Single layer circular stage supports standard glass slides and is simple to clean
  • No external camera or power supply needed - everything is integrated into the unit

Application Scenarios

  • Classroom instruction in biology where a teacher demonstrates a slide to a group of students
  • School science labs where students rotate through stations with shared specimen viewing
  • Teaching microscopy basics to middle or high school students with no prior experience
  • Remote learning setups where the LCD output can be connected to a projector or monitor
  • Low-budget lab setups in developing regions where durable, low-maintenance instruments are needed

Who It Is For

  • Secondary schools and high schools teaching biology and life sciences
  • University teaching labs with large student cohorts
  • Science education programs in under-resourced schools
  • STEM outreach programs and science fairs
  • Instructors who need to demonstrate specimens to groups without relying on individual eyepieces

Problems It Solves

  • Traditional microscopes require students to take turns viewing through an eyepiece, slowing down group learning
  • Single-user microscopes limit the ability to teach a class of 20+ students simultaneously
  • Overheating from halogen or incandescent bulbs damages delicate biological specimens
  • Heavy metal-bodied microscopes are difficult for students to carry and set up
  • Separate cameras and monitors increase cost and complexity for classroom use

Technical Features

  • Conocular 30° viewing head for ergonomic, shared viewing
  • Achromatic objectives: 4X, 10X, 40X(S) (175mm objective lens)
  • LED illumination source with no heat emission
  • Built-in 3.5-inch LCD screen for direct image display
  • Single layer circular stage for standard slide placement
  • Coarse adjustment with 30mm range for focusing across specimen thickness
  • Full plastic construction for lightweight and impact resistance
  • No external power supply required - powered via internal battery or USB

Customization Options

  • Available with or without the LCD screen (if a separate display is preferred)
  • Optional replacement of the 40X(S) objective with a 40X(160) for different tube length compatibility
  • Can be supplied with a different eyepiece (e.g. WF15X) if required for higher magnification
  • No options for metal components or higher-grade optics - unit is designed for educational use only

Comparison With Other Options

Standard biological microscope without LCDThe XSP400 allows multiple students to view the same specimen at once; the standard model requires individual eyepiece use and limits group visibility.
Digital microscope with external camera and monitorThe XSP400 integrates the camera and display into a single unit, reducing setup time and eliminating the need for cables or separate power.
Higher-end classroom microscope with metal bodyThe XSP400 is lighter and less expensive, but lacks the durability and precision of metal-bodied units; suitable only for controlled classroom environments.

Use Guide

  • Place the slide on the circular stage and secure it with the stage clip
  • Turn on the LED illumination and adjust the condenser to focus the light on the specimen
  • Start with the 4X objective and use coarse focus to bring the specimen into view
  • Switch to higher objectives (10X, 40X) and use fine focus for sharper detail
  • Ensure the LCD screen is powered - either via internal battery or USB connection
  • Clean the lens surfaces with a soft cloth after use; avoid touching the LCD screen

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Can multiple students view the same specimen at once?

Yes. The built-in 3.5-inch LCD screen allows several students to see the same image simultaneously without passing the eyepiece.

Does the microscope need an external power supply?

No. The unit can be powered by an internal battery or via USB connection.

What is the magnification range?

The magnification range is 40X (4X objective) to 400X (40X objective with 10X eyepiece).

Is the LCD screen replaceable or upgradeable?

No. The LCD screen is integrated into the unit and not designed for replacement or upgrade.

Can I use this microscope for live specimens?

Yes. The LED illumination produces no heat, so it is safe for live biological specimens.

What is the working distance for the 40X objective?

The working distance for the 40X(S) objective is 175mm, which is standard for this lens type.
